Accepted Paper:
Sovereignty, Poverty, History: 2005 and Western Moralities of Intervention
Graham Harrison
(Sheffield University)
Paper long abstract:
This paper reviews the initiatives that threw Africa into the foreground of Western government and public sensibilities. Having established that the initiatives represented at best an increment to the resource inputs of already established development and debt management regimes, the paper asks what effects such a 'heroic' approach to Africa in the West had on understandings of African sovereignty and the norms of intervention.
